Event

Sometimes certain events will occur, which can affect different aspects of your operation, such as costs or duration. On-going events are indicated by an icon with a countdown in the top right corner, below the toolbox. Most events are announced in advance. An event can typically have a duration of 4-24 hours.

Examples of events include:

Strike, which means longer waiting times for the affected industry. A strike might involve all factories of a certain type, or just one.

An industry working overtime, leading to reduced waiting time for picking up this good.

Service cost reduction, meaning you can service your engines at half the usual cost.
